Not fair!

November 13, 2011

One of the most irrational statements I hear – from adults as well as from kids – is, “That’s not fair!”

I hate that phrase. We live in America for crying out loud. Life is not fair in our favor 99.99% of the time. If life were fair I’d be living in a shack, walking to a job where I’d have to labor for 12 or 14 hours for sustenance wages, and when I got home the electricity might or might not be on. But instead…we are so fortunate compared to the rest of the world. Life is “not fair” in my favor, I have nothing but gratitude.
